Not being able to think of a better sentence, I think nVidia **** in their pants when AMD released the 4850 at the price they did. The performance of AMD’s little card certainly raised the standard for a medium-end card and nVidia swiftly reacted by announcing the 9800 GTX+ GPU which is, simply put, a die-shrunked and overclocked version of the 9800 GTX. This 55nm GPU runs at stock speeds of 738MHz for the core and 1836MHz for shaders.
